Eagles’ Wolff: I had no shot on Welker’s touchdown

“Honestly, there’s not a whole lot I could have did there,” Wolff said. “I’m lined up inside and the only route that will get me is the out route. And that’s basically what it is. No lie, before the snap, I lined up, I said, ‘If he runs an out route, it’s a touchdown.’ That’s what I told myself, man. I was like, ‘I hope he doesn’t run an out route.’ And I kind of figured he was because on film, that’s what they did when they were in the bunch, No. 3 mostly runs an out route.”

“The thing is, Wes Welker, he’s the type of receiver to where if you’re lined up outside, he’ll run inside. Him and Peyton have option routes,” Wolff explained.

This is the same play Ted broke down earlier in the week, but it's great to learn what the player was thinking. Be sure to check out the article though, as there's analysis on several plays from Sunday's win. (via FO)

This article makes me want NFL Films to start producing Games with Commentary in the same manner most movies come with commentary from the director or actors in the film. Granted, it would require a ton of effort to do right and perhaps it could only be done on a small scale, but make it happen. Hell, I'd pay the guys at IAOFM if they produced it for the Broncos games. So shut up and take my money!!!

All in all, love getting players perspective about what they were thinking on a given play. This is the kind of in-depth coverage I want...not talking heads yelling at each other.

Almost feel bad for the guy that his coaches put him in a no win situation. Wait...no I don't
